Pocket Guide: Financial District Singapore, Singapore Romantic Hotels

Flanked by the Singapore River, the financial district is defined by modern skyscrapers, historical bridges, and Colonial-style buildings. Raffles Place is the center of the commercial hub and a relaxing spot to sip coffee, people-watch, and do a bit of shopping. More shops and local food can be found at Lau Pa Sat, a 150-year-old Victorian cast-iron building.
